Ginataang Langka |
Ginataang Langka (Unripe Jackfruit in coconut milk) is one of the menus often served in a Filipino household. Aside from the unripe jackfruit and coconut milk, you could add pork, shrimp paste, fish or shrimps.
Since today is Friday of Christian Lent season, we are skipping the meat. It is a Catholic observance to abstain from meat during Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all Fridays of Lent.
Ginataang Langka
Ingredients:
6 cups unripe jackfruit ( you can buy from supermarkets: peeled, seeded and sliced)

fish sauce, to taste
